Assnmnt 10/16 & Need co-discuss leader

Hi Folks

A) Based on the surveys, we will go a step deeper now into the Transportation issue, including other possible ways forward than the Concept Plan we were working off of. (Survey results & Revised syllabus coming up, I'm still waiting for a few more survey returns!)
Read Green Urbanism: Chapter 4 Transit Cities pp. 109-136 and Green Urbanism: Chapter 5 Taming the Auto pp.137-165 and Ecocities: Chapter 6: Access & Transportation pp. 137-179
(Highly recommended, not required: Green Urbanism: Chapter 6 Bicycles: Low-Tech Ecological Mobility)

B) Reflect, roughly 1 page, DUE SUNDAY OCT 14, at 8 PM
Note 10 of the tools/strategies you like best from the reading in both books and show how they could help shape a ten-year plan for sustainably transforming the transportation and land use infrastructure in Ithaca OR another city you know & care about. Include the systems thinking and the equity/access/justice planning that is built into your plan.
***Optional, Recommended: Do this with a partner and both sign on as authors.

C) Bring in Behavior Change Journals, be prepared to talk about your Behavior Change journey and to hand in the journal. If you want to send in an electronic copy sooner (as someone has already done) that would be great, but I'm assuming most people are doing handwritten journals.

D) We will take a nice chunk of time to talk about our Projects, so if there are any things or thoughts you want to show and share, bring them in.

E) Note requested and suggested leaders/presenters for 10/16. I would like us to have a discussion co-facilitator with Greg.
Case Presentations Rachel Salima
Nature in the City Gabriella Melissa
Discussion Facilitation Greg
